A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Hi everyone,
I wanted to share an exclusive article we've published regarding the early development of the Ferrari SF-26 for the 2026 F1 season.
Our report highlights that Ferrari is already conducting initial tests, apparently featuring the return of "bazooka" aerodynamic elements on a basic test version of the car. This is quite interesting considering the new regulations, and it suggests an early strategic direction for their aero philosophy.
You can read the full details and our analysis here:

What are your initial thoughts on this? Do you think the "bazooka" concept could be effective under the 2026 regs, especially with the rumored power unit changes?
Looking forward to hearing your insights!
Total wrong direction for me, needs to be more like Redbull and Mercedes.
I don't get its value beyond packaging. Looks like it'd increase wetted area and drag to my untrained eye.

So they reverted to push rod only after one year of pull rod in front. They haven’t clicked with pull rod in front

The fact most teams have migrated that way means it’s not a surprise
